Mother, two children unharmed after Thursday morning robbery in Paramount

PARAMOUNT - A mother and her two children were unharmed Thursday morning after two men wearing ski masks kicked in their front door and robbed them, a Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department official said.

The robbery happened about 2:15 a.m. in the 7300 block of Marcelle St., said Lt. Minh Dinh of the Lakewood Sheriff's Station.

After the suspects entered the home, one of them shined a flashlight in the women's face, taped her mouth and asked where the jewelry was. They stole jewelry and a flat-screen television while her two children slept in another room, Dinh said.

The suspects were last seen driving a dark vehicle, possibly a four door, north bound on Garfield Avenue.

The men are described as two black men, possibly in their 20s, from 5-feet 10-inches to 6-feet tall with a slender build, Dinh said.

Anyone with information about the robbery should contact the Lakewood Sheriff's Station, 562-623-3500.
